Webhooks & Event Tracking

Automatically send real-time data from Discovered to other platforms using webhooks.

Overview

Webhooks in Discovered allow you to automatically transmit event-based data to external systems as soon as key actions occur within your account. With webhooks, you can connect Discovered to third-party tools or internal databases, enabling seamless automation and integration with your existing workflows.

For example, when a candidate is added to a job or a candidate is hired, Discovered can immediately send this event data to your desired endpoint—such as a CRM, HRIS, or analytics tool—without any manual intervention.

This feature is ideal for clients who want to track critical recruiting events across multiple platforms, automate reporting, or trigger follow-up actions in other systems.

1. Request Webhook Setup

Contact Discovered Support at support@discoveredats.com (or through your account representative).
Specify the event(s) you’d like to track and provide the destination URL where webhook data should be posted.

Example request:

“Please set up a webhook for our account to trigger whenever a new candidate is hired. Send the webhook data to: https://examplecompany.com/webhook-endpoint.”

2. Supported Event Types:

Currently, Discovered supports webhooks for the following two events:
- Candidate Added to a Job – triggers when a new candidate is added to any job within your account.
- Candidate Hired – triggers when a candidate’s status is updated to “Hired.”

3. How Webhooks Work:

Once a webhook is set up for your company:
- Discovered stores your webhook URL and event trigger in a secure database.
- When the specified event occurs (e.g., a candidate is hired), Discovered automatically sends a POST request to your designated webhook URL.
- The payload contains relevant event data, such as candidate details, job information, and timestamps.

4. Receiving and Using Webhook Data:

Once configured, your system can capture and process the webhook data to trigger automated actions, such as:
- Adding candidate data to your CRM or HR system.
- Updating dashboards or analytics reports.
- Sending internal notifications to hiring managers.
- Logging hiring events for compliance or performance tracking.
If you’re using automation platforms like Zapier, you can configure them to listen for Discovered webhook events and pass data to thousands of supported apps.

5. Testing and Verification:

After setup:
- Discovered will trigger a test webhook to your provided URL to confirm it’s working correctly.
- Your technical team can verify receipt of the payload and ensure your system processes it as expected.
- Once verified, live webhooks will automatically activate for your chosen events.

Why This Matters

Webhooks empower your team to integrate Discovered with your broader HR or business ecosystem. With event-based automation, you can:

Eliminate manual data entry and synchronization.
Maintain accurate, real-time records across systems.
Automate follow-up workflows based on hiring milestones.
Gain deeper visibility into recruiting performance and outcomes.

This ensures seamless communication between Discovered and your preferred platforms—saving time and reducing administrative workload.

Use Cases

Recruiting Analytics: Automatically log candidate hires into a BI or reporting tool.
CRM Integration: Sync new candidates to your CRM for future engagement.
Internal Notifications: Alert team members in Slack or Teams when candidates are added or hired.
HR System Sync: Automatically add hired candidates to your HR or payroll software.

Best Practices

Always verify your webhook endpoint is secure (HTTPS) before providing it to Discovered.
Test webhook payloads with a tool like Webhook.site or Postman before final activation.
Use descriptive endpoint names (e.g., /candidate-hired) to easily identify incoming data.
Document internal webhook handling procedures for future updates or troubleshooting.
Notify Discovered Support immediately if your webhook URL changes, to prevent delivery failures.

What Happens Next

Once your webhook request is approved and configured:

The webhook will become active for the specified event(s).
Event data will automatically post to your configured endpoint whenever triggers occur.
You can modify or deactivate a webhook by contacting Discovered Support.
Additional event triggers can be added later upon request.

With Client Webhooks & Event Tracking, you can create powerful, real-time integrations between Discovered and your existing tools—keeping your data in sync and your recruiting process fully automated.
